Ikerrin Road attempted to make all over 7f at Newcastle on his debut but was caught close home. But similar tactics could set the race up for FORCE today as he drops in class after modest efforts at Ascot and Newbury. Geno made a promising start over 5f at York but disappointed last time while it would be no surprise to see both Above N Beyond and Easy Code finish closer in this with recent debuts under their belt. Zain Emperor and Pennock are newcomers to note.
